This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

‼️🇺🇸🇷🇺 Elon Musk-led US DOGE department is suspected of organizing a large-scale leak of confidential databases to unknown recipients from Russia, - Militarnyi Cybersecurity expert Berulis informed US Congress about a covert cyber operation against his department, which was organized by DOGE.

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

Auchincloss: "This issue about the Maryland man is not about border security or immigration. It's about freedom. Freedom in the US means that if your feet are on American soil, you get to stand in front of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome power of the state and put forward the facts."

Trump targets immigrants & activists, labeling them “criminals” or “terrorists” to justify violence. The reality is that most aren’t even close to being offenders. This is about silencing dissent & dehumanizing anyone who challenges his agenda. No one is safe from this authoritarian overreach.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

As we fight tyranny, we build solidarity. From solidarity, we draw courage. Surrounded by courageous people and institutions, we more easily find courage within ourselves to keep fighting. Remember: tyranny is only possible if people submit to it.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

SARA EISEN: What evidence is there of corruption? WARREN: He announces tariff policy, says there's no exceptions, but "I talked to Tim Cook." Really? E: Shouldn't he? W: "Great deal available for Tim Cook" E: It's great for Americans who have to buy iPhones W: No. It's great for one company

This guy's a hero. Good shit, Senator.

Harvard refuses to play ball w/ Admin, but Trump trying to up the ante w/ tax status and foreign students. If Harvard can hang tough, might it carry over to Trump's other quarry -- media, law, and now NGO's? Looking forward to discussing w/ @nicollewallace.bsky.social on @msnbc.com at 5 PM ET.

Let's. Ramp. It. Up. #GeneralStrike

Tesla is reportedly pulling workers off Cybertruck factory lines and dropping production targets for the model amid plummeting sales. Sounds like sales are crashing like a Tesla on autopilot.

I don't wish to sound alarmist but literally every single supply chain professional I know is in 5-alarm panic mode.

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

Due to the constant online attacks from Trump and Elon, 67 judges are now receiving enhanced security because of their involvement in high-profile cases. Threats against judges have already led to criminal charges against nearly 50 individuals.

Fernando Oliver shared this.

THEY JUST DON’T LEARN: A new NBC News poll suggests that more than 33% of registered American voters surveyed in March 2025 identified themselves as [MAGA] followers...up from…29% before last November’s Election Day. (per James Liddell, The Independent, 4/15/25)

🇨🇳😳🇺🇸 White House: China now faces up to a 245% (!) tariff on imports to the United States as a result of its retaliatory actions.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO THEM cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

Van Hollen: "I applaud Harvard's decision not to give in to bullying from the Trump administration. Trump believes in 1st Amendment rights for himself, but apparently for nobody else ... the whole purpose of 1A is you don't have the government dictating speech as the administration is trying to do."

Found them.

Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts. Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.” NO SHIT!

After watching 60 Minutes tonight, Trump calls on FCC Chair Brendan Carr to revoke CBS’s broadcast license.

They’re outsourcing the death camps.

Harvard University: “We have informed the [Trump Administration] through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 view.hu.harvard.edu?qs=351b45ebf...

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

“…members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access…” What kind of shady s**t is going on here?? www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
